The blurbs looks good, but for the article itself, there seems to be plenty of expressions that are probably slightly too close to the source. [1] and [2]. It could also be due to the musicals' titles. So I'm unsure at the moment whether to pass.---ZKang123 (talk) 07:35, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- @ZKang123: Thanks for the review. A bunch of these matches are because there are a limited number of ways to phrase a certain circumstances, e.g. "On either side of the" is a common phrasing to denote that an object is flanked by something else. There are a lot of proper names too, like "New York City Department of Buildings", and plenty of short quotes and musical titles, which greatly inflated the copyvio match percentage. I've fixed them now. Epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
